This book is not a set of rigid techniques but is a guide to some elegantly simple approaches to hypnosis so that a reader can have an opportunity to see what might be helpful to explore, to adapt, to translate. It is a collection of practical, every day observations based on McNeilly’s nearly 40 years of clinical experience and teaching. It evolved from his enchantment of Milton Erickson’s approach and makes an otherwise overwhelmingly complex experience more available.Robert McNeilly MBBS Dr. Robert McNeilly was in a suburban Melbourne general medical practice for 10 years, had the privilege of learning directly with Milton Erickson, was inspired by his human approach to therapy, and created his own interpretation to assist clients in a respectful, dignified way with the human dilemmas that affect individuals, couples and families.

For nearly 40 years, the contribution he brings in his teaching style, writing and unique approaches to learning and therapy allow for a ready application into everyday living and are recognised locally, nationally and internationally, including repeated invited presentations at the Milton H Erickson Foundation’s International Congresses in USA since 1980 and workshops in Singapore, Japan, Brazil, Finland, The Czech Republic, UK and Denmark.

He is co-author, with Jenny Brown, of "Healing With Words", "Healing the Whole Person" was published by Wiley, republished as “Doing Change” by St Luke’s Innovative Resources, and Creating Connections in Ericksonian Approaches to Hypnosis and therapy Volumes 1 & 2 published by Tandava Press. Crown House have published a series of DVD demonstrations of counselling and hypnosis.

Students comment on his easy, respectful manner and his elegant ability to make complex issues approachable while retaining their essence.

If you are looking for scripts to read to your clients go somewhere else. You have perhaps hundreds of options. This book is not for the beginner. This IS an advanced work! Dr.Rob McNeilly has given us a gift! Anyone who expects "more advanced treatment of the subject of hypnosis" is truly a "Young Jedi". In order to "Learn" you must "Experience". I have personally studied with Dr. McNeilly, and the Common Everyday Approach is so powerful! It is all about Elicitation! Is it not? And then Utilization by THE CLIENT.

I am a professional schoolhouse trained Medical Support Clinical Hypnotherapist, Performance Hypnosis Practitioner, Licensed Master Practitioner of NLP in Hypnosis (not just plain NLP) signed by Dr. Richard Bandler. And I am a licensed Neurocise Practitioner (You will hear more about that in the coming years) BUT I MUST SAY....I USE WHAT Dr. McNeilly teaches in his book WITH EVERY CLIENT! There is a "secret" to this though.....and as generous as Dr. McNeilly is, I will also be....The "secret".....YOU MUST GO FIRST.
